CHAPTER XXX. LETTERS AND TELE
GRAM


GRAM.
1t is not an easy thing to write an offer
of marriage; at any rate Aston Lawford
did not find it so. And then he had, in ad-
dition, the task of making Valerie Herbert
understand clearly, without expressing 1t
harshly, that the offer would not be re-
newed if she should think fit to play the
coquette and refuse him. OF course 1t
would be. Lawford was thoroughly infat-
uated. Had his love been Of nobler type
he would scarcely have tolerated so long
the girls cavalier way Of treating him; and
this Valerie knew quite well. Where she
made mistake was in not even crediting
him with as much affection for her as he
really had. She thought her beauty pleas
ed him, and he wanted to have a lovely
woman at the head of his establishment
and to marry the belle Of the season. And
though she knew her power over the man,
she certainly did not grasp its full extent.
But why did not Aston Lawford see Va
lerie and plead his cause in person? 1t
must be owned that in the first place
albeit he would not have confessed it-he
was afraid Of the willful beauty. She
might refuse to be brought to bay; treat
his proposal with bddindge; or with some
of her hundred woman's wiles place him
at disadvantages a letter was plain black
and white; there could be no mistaking 1t,
or pretense of doing so. Next, Mrs. Lang
ley was sure to see the letter before reply
was returned, and II Valerie was inclined
to ''play fast and loose" her aunt would
prevent IL; for, Notwithstanding Aston
Lawford's disclaimer of coercion pro-
nouIced In Max Beauregard's hearing, the
ironmaster was by no means above putting
on the thumbscrew if it should be neces-
sary. But that 1t would be necessary never
for an instant occurred to him. Valerie
would In reality jump at the offer, which
indeed she ought to accept as doing her
great honor. She had absolutely nodower
but her beauty; and here was man Of
vast wealth and neutrality-suspicious. man
twice her age, who might, If he chose, have
married a peers misunderstanding her
out for the distinction Of being his wife.
How many letters Mr.. Lawford tore up
before composing one that satisfied him it
were bootless TO enumerate. He was the
whole morning locked up in his study; but
he succeeded at length, and despatched the
missiye by aservant to Upper Brook Street.
Valerie had just returned with Amy Lin
wood, Hal Dallas, and Lord Westbrook
from the morning ride, when the letter was
put into her hands. She started as she
glanced at the address, but put the letter
into her pocket until "a more convenient
season." Mrs. Langley could not have
seen it, for she had gone to luncheon with
a friend.
Valerie quickly changed her habit, and
then all four sat down TO luncheon, and
there was much talking and laughing. If
there was one heavy heart there, there was
no outward sign of it.

are going to Join for Henley, Miss Her

A CRIMELESS CRIMINAL.
Young Man UncOnsciOusIy
Carries Off a Watch.

Sunday night party of ultra fash
ioaable young men dropped into the
backroonl Of Main street saloon and
engaged in little game of draw poker
just to wind up the deyotions of the
day. One of the party, who believes
in fetch, took his watch from his
DO .ket and hid it in a corner of the
room, "to give him luck" A young
gentleman from San Francisco, known
to eeyeral of the party, but not to the
watch owner, dropped in and looked
at the game for awhile. He picked up
the watch in the corner and
was examining it when betting
became liv ly ON "Jack pot" and
the young man unconsciously showed
the watch in his pocket and shortly
afterwards left. When the party
broke up, the owner of the watch
looked for his property and it was
gone. He asked his companions to
quit Joking and return his watch, but
each disclaimed any knowledge of its
whereabouts. Quite heated language
was passed and for time serious
row was imminent. A liberal appli-
cation of absiqthe however, acted as
oil on the troubled waters. Yester-
day the young San Franojscp gentle
man found the watch in his pocket
and made haste to return it to the
rightful owner.
